anon257072 Post 78 What are the differences between biology and science? I don't understand much about biology but I try to love it because my profession is in line with this. I find this subject a tough one, something complicated but I'm very willing to learn much. It is kind of boring, but it can be exciting and interesting in a while. Now, I'm planning to proceed in medicine so hope I will pick up biology easily. What is the usefulness of studying and knowing biology? I love biology and i want to learn more about biology. Looking forward to taking biology. I've never taken it before, just now finding out what it's all about! Looking forward to the challenge. --Anthony R., Long Beach, Ca well i am form 3 and till now i think that biology is an interesting subject. i will try my best in studying it but sometimes it gets so boring. as i grow up i want to be a vet. i love animals. thanks. i don't know much about biology but yes i know one thing if our having the will to do something new then try this. it can make our mind sharper.

When factoring in what is now known about breast cancer biology and heterogeneity, breast conserving therapy (BCT) may offer a greater survival benefit over mastectomy to women with early stage, hormone-receptor positive disease, according to research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The study findings defy the conventional belief that the two treatment interventions offer equal survival, and show the need to revisit some standards of breast cancer practice in the modern era. The research was presented at the 2014 Breast Cancer Symposium by Catherine Parker, MD, formerly a fellow at MD Anderson, now at the University of Alabama Birmingham. In the 1980s, both US-based and international randomized clinical studies found that BCT and mastectomy offered women with early stage breast cancer equal survival benefit. However, those findings come from a period in time when very little was understood about breast cancer biology, explains Isabelle Bedrosian, M.D., associate professor, surgical oncology at MD Anderson. "Forty years ago, very little was known about breast cancer disease biology -- such as subtypes, differences in radio-sensitivities, radio-resistances, local recurrence and in metastatic potential," explains Bedrosian, the study's senior author. "Since then, there's been a whole body of biology that's been … Continue reading →

Press Release -- Seven undergraduate students studying biology in the University of Louisiana at Monroes School of Sciences are gaining attention for their work as part of grant-funded research programs across the state. Students Kyle Gresham and Grant Gallien, both of West Monroe, presented the results of their research at a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) SEA-Phages Symposium. The symposium was held at the HHMI Janelia Farm Research Campus in Ashburn, Va. During the symposium, the students presented a poster detailing their groundbreaking discovery of a previously unidentified bacteriophagea type of virus that infects bacteria cells. It was found by simply taking a small soil sample from under a bridge, said Gresham. I then had the opportunity to give this bacteriophage a name. Since it came from under a bridge, I decided it should be named Hobo. Meanwhile, biology students Adebanjo Adedoja of Lagos, Siddhartha Dhakal of Kathmandu, Similoluwa Ogundare of Garki, Kristina Ok of Monroe, and Nabin Timilsina of Kathmandu took part in a summer research program at two locations in Louisiana. Adedoja and Ok pursued research activities at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport, and Dhakal, Ogundare, and Timilsina took part in laboratory efforts on the … Continue reading →
